You *always* should, every time you think you *might* run into *any* type of
error .. and even when you don't think you will, at all. :)

My take is that the app should always E-mail/contact *someone* .. it means
that the user has done something that no one ever expected and someone needs
to do something about it.
> If so, what information do you have it e-mail to you?
All info that the developer needs to fix the prob and that the user should
never see .. directory path, file name, database error, etc.

Look up the help doc on cfcatch/cftry. The only "pretty page" that the user
needs to see is that an error has occured and that the 'admins' will fix it
soon. Anything else should provide contact info to follow-up, if needed.
You should be able to combine both functions into one page, so that the app
displays both the error to the user and also E-mails the problem to the
admin(s).
